Public Service Message: For those of your considering swapping in a 5.0L V8 and AOD in your explorer, consider using a 4R70W (aka: AODE-W) wide ratio electronic controlled transmission instead of a traditional AOD. For those of you who don't know, I used a AOD (automatic Overdrive) in my...

I understand there is 100% lockup in OD, (ie: no slippage) What I am confused about is the 60% lockup in Third gear. When I am in third gear, I am fully locked up. For example, when I increase the throttle in third gear, my rpm raises as my speed goes up, not by increased throttle...

Just curious, Its a fact that you hook up the White/Purple to a "crank" only source.........along with the Red and Light blue. Although if you check the diagrams for the 60 pin connector (EEC-IV Module Connector Pin Usage chart) , there is no indication of a White/Purple wire that goes...
